So at 466 they only have one more hit to go with the autos. Who will be the one to throw them under the bus? And you guys thought Barton got crap for his run. Tom

That is exactly what it means. The '08 CJ with the supercharged 330 inch engine, which was factory rated at 425 HP, is now NHRA rated at 491 HP and is now only legal for Super Stock.

With a new rating of 491 HP that combo is now only about 250HP under-factored.....so that should only be about 2 more years before they fit where they belong.

Simple fix bring back the fuel injection classes with some higher classes.

Warren Johnson has been saying that for years about every class.

In my case, that has been a cold hard fact, on numerous occasions.
